thoughts on this list? is it better than afi's?

[wkw]

booorrrrinnngg...

[dontdigonswine]

Haha I like this list a little bit. But only because of The Big Lebowski and Eternal Sunshine.

Is it like taboo to have a foreign film in the top 10??

[criterionmaster]

oh man, i didn't even notice they didn't have any foreign films in the top ten. that is so gay. and yes, i found this list bad, as well. haha. many odd choices to me for a top list.

[mixed]

Run lola run is such shit. Why does it get any recognition, its simply shit. Fuck that makes me mad that some guy can make a film which is boring already and should remain a ten minute short. Yet then the fucker plays it to us again using his other rushes and shot positions. Then changes the ending scenarios a bit and ta da! We have a film. Grrrrgt

[wkw]

^Yeah, Lola Rennt isn't a very good film, though not because of the concept. The execution was terrible. The running around was really boring and the scenes that transition the 3 parts were awkward. Not to mention this kind of film has already been done, checkout Kieslowski's Blind Chance.

Checkout this list, it's even worse:
www.totalfilm.com/features/total_film_presents_the_top_100_movies_of_all_time

pretty much all of it was made from 1980-present

and their top 100 directors list is a joke too.

Boring movies only apply, I suppose.



Here. I'm surprised Miyazaki made it so high, let alone made the list at all.
